I turned my back you were gone in a flash like you always do
You always go off somewhere else
And when the phone rang and I thought it was you and I sprung like a kid who just got out of school but it's almost, always never you, never you
I scream like a child, my insides went woah

And when I'm alone with you
You make me feel and you make me feel
When I'm alone with you
You are the one and you are the one

And when I reach out and I only grab air and it killed me to think that you never did care and it's hopeless You always run off somewhere else-
and I throw in a tantrum
Why are you such a phantom (battle?)

And when I'm alone with you
You make me feel and you make me feel
When I'm alone with you
You are the one and you are the one

And when I'm alone with you
You make me feel and you make me feel
When I'm alone with you
You are the one and you are the one

Remind me of home when you're around me
The next time you leave don't go without me
No, don't go. No. Yeah!

'Cuz you make me feel, you make me feel,
that you are the one, you are the one
And when I'm alone with you,
you make me feel and you make me feel, yeah
When I'm alone with you
you are the one and you are the one.

Oh, oh, oh-woah. Oh yeah...

And when I'm alone with you, you make me feel and you make me feel.

    General Comment:It seems like its about being way more into someone than they're into you. And you don't realize it until you're up to your elbows in the relationship, and then you feel trapped. It's like she's getting pissed looking back at previous interactions with this person, and just now realizing the imbalance.

    General Comment:I love this song. It means that she loves someone alot. But they're never there for her as much as she's there for them. "When I'm alone with you" He makes her feel so good about herself and them two together, even if he doesnt try. He probably just say her as a friend, but to her he's the one.

    General Comment:i really love this song.
    i also think its about someone who makes her feel happy and like theyre 'the one' but they always just leave her and dissappear and dont realise how they make her feel.

    General Comment:There need to be more comments on this song. Seriously.
    I love the way the music picks up at the chorus... the sound of the chorus is really different from the sound of the verses, and I dig that.
    And I love this girl's voice, it's got so much soul.
    As for the meaning, I think the song is basically about someone who the singer loves to spend time with - someone who makes her feel alive, comfortable, happy, etc. However, that person doesn't feel as strongly about her as she feels about them, and they are rarely there as much as she wants them to be. So, she finds herself waiting and wishing for them to be with her, wondering why they always seem to run off so quickly when she so desperately wants them to stay.
